English term or phrase: I don't need you breathing down my neck
Qual seria a tradução de "I don't need you breathing down my neck", como no texto abaixo?


SUSAN: I know why you're doing this. You resent my rejecting you and you're using your new role to lord it over me.

TOM: My only agenda is the continuing achievement and well being of the students of this school

SUSAN: I don't need you to show me how to teach my students, I don't need you breathing down my neck. I'm warning you Tom; you stay out of my classroom or I will talk to the Union.
